Answer:  6\sqrt{3}

======================================================

Explanation:

Method 1

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find x.

a^2+b^2 = c^2\\\\6^2+x^2 = 12^2\\\\36+x^2 = 144\\\\x^2 = 144-36\\\\x^2 = 108\\\\x = \sqrt{108}\\\\x = \sqrt{36*3}\\\\x = \sqrt{36}*\sqrt{3}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

-----------------------------------

Method 2

Use the sine ratio to find x. You'll need a reference sheet or the unit circle, or simply memorize that sin(60) = sqrt(3)/2

\sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin(60^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{12}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{x}{12}\\\\x = 12*\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

-----------------------------------

Method 3

Similar to the previous method, but we'll use tangent this time.

Use a reference sheet, unit circle, or memorize that tan(60) = sqrt(3)

\tan(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\\\\\tan(60^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{6}\\\\\sqrt{3} = \frac{x}{6}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

-----------------------------------

Method 4

This is a 30-60-90 triangle. In other words, the angles are 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees.

Because of this special type of triangle, we know that the long leg is exactly sqrt(3) times that of the short leg.

\text{long leg} = (\text{short leg})*\sqrt{3}\\\\x = 6\sqrt{3}\\\\

The short leg is always opposite the smallest angle (30 degrees).

Explanation:

  • \bold{\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

\bold{\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:2\right)}

Does anyone know how to do this?
Lena [83]

Answer:

Each guest would get 6 party favors.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find out how many party favors Amy bought. 3 bags of 12 party favors equals 36 party favors (3x12)

So, divide 36 party favors by 6 guests, and you get the final answer of 6 party favors per guest.

Hope this helps!!
